    Do you keep your PC overclocked?

    Nope...I'm happy with it as is. Our last computer was a (overpriced Gateway) P4 1.5GHz setup from 2001...nuff said

    Logitech X240 2.1 set...

    My brain hurts too... So I have my x540 connected to onboard audio. I've always, unless I'm using headphones, set the Windows volume to 100 and adjusted the speaker volume on the knob provided. Would I get (slightly) better quality audio with say 75 on windows and 50 (half-turn) on the...

    TorrentSpy Slapped with $111 Million Court Judgment

    Dear MPAA/RIAA: Give us what we want (DRM-free music, more downloadable content) at a reasonable price and this probably won't happen at a large scale. Sincerely, Dr. Obvious

    Super Talent Releases (Somewhat) Affordable SSD Lineup

    Nope, but if my laptop HD dies someday I'd consider the 60GB MX version because it would be an overall upgrade to the 5400RPM version, except for space which I don't need...

    Here's what bloatware should look like...

    Makes sense. That plus Vista used up to 800+ MB of RAM minimum when I got it in December. Removing about 1/3 of the crap got it down to 550ish MB. I can't argue tho. I forgot to mention it was my Christmas gift, and it's better than paying for one or not even having one :D

    Gas Prices

    We're not as bad as California, but it's pretty high. I've seen upwards of $3.80 (which was the price of 110 unleaded not too long ago...) on my daily drive. It's better in the inner-city of Milwaukee and closer to Minnesoooooota tho. http://www.milwaukeegasprices.com/

    4GB DDR2 for $76!

    Logitech X-540 5.1 speakers compatible with Xbox Elite???

    Sorry for not me not replying to your email; I didn't recall seeing a name or anything so I thought it was spam :o Anyway I'm not really sure because I haven't had a console since N64...I would say yes if it has analog outputs too along with HDMI. I can't really help you

    Save cash? Purchase a full animal...

    It makes sense...but my Malibu maxx probably can't even handle a 1/4 cow...don't think it would be practical for some...

    Whats your job?

    Student...wanting to get a mechanical engineering degree. I worked at Simplicity Mfg for a year in HS (the plant is closed now, thanks Briggs and Stratton), long story short I didn't like how I was treated and got out of there just before they moved the department down closer to Milwaukee...

    Please help me choose 5.1 speakers

    Most visible difference between the x540 and x530 is that the x540 has a wired remote for sound, bass and "matrix mode" buttons, which is a lot nicer than being limited to the on-speaker volume controls on the x530

    EA To Cease Madden 2009 PC Release

    I've had 3 Madden PC games, '99, '04, and '07. The latter was completely half-arsed compared to the console versions. In '04 and '99 there was little difference between the console and PC. It's just EA's trend of half-hearting games, especially PC Sports games (racing fans will recall the...

    Are SSDs Causing Notebook Defects?

    Way completely different situation...but my first thought that it's still better than my 50% return rate on my WDs I purchased...excluding the one that came DOA :o
